"Operation! You're the doctor collecting all the pay!"

When i look back on playing this game, i clearly had a major anxiety disorder for a 5-7 year old as i JUMPED EVERY TIME I hit the metal. No one else I played with ever did.

The article mentions that he is "not broke." Seems more like recognition seeking his place in history and this is the best marketing. Fine by me as it is a great game!

"not broke" doesn't men he has 25 thousand for an operation. It goes in to say while he's "not broke" his business went under and he has fallen on tough times". I think implying he's doing this for attention is kind of messed up.

I don't see why he doesn't just perform surgery on himself?

Of course, he would have to find some way of applying electric current to his body to make sure he doesn't damage surrounding areas.
